First of all, hard work pays off. In this industry, you have to hustle. It’s all about committing to learning more, pushing your technical skills and creating something new and inspiring. Secondly, create what ultimately inspires you – inspiration is all around you. Lastly, it’s so important to expand your network within the industry – attend trade shows, be an advocate for a brand that aligns with you and get your name out there.
